      Isiah Whitlock Jr., on Leaving Chelsea for Gramercy Park

He put his own stamp on it — Flokati rug and beanbag chairs — after his girlfriend moved out. A few years later, the landlord suggested it was time for Mr. Whitlock to vacate the premises, too, but framed the request in a more flattering manner.Mr. Whitlock’s sectional sofa arrived in the reverse configuration from what he was expecting. In time, he has come to view it as a fortunate mistake. “This way, it really opens up the room.”Credit…Katherine Marks for The New York Times“One day she told me in passing, ‘You know, I really don’t want you becoming famous, because I don’t want tour buses pulling up in front of the house,’” Mr. Whitlock said. “I thought it was sort of a joke, but she wasn’t laughing.”“I never did get a solid reason,” he added. “I suspected she wanted a lot more money. I could have paid more, but she wanted me gone.”Isiah Whitlock, 66Occupation: ActorHome sweet home: “As an actor, you’re out and about and meeting all kinds of people, and it’s nice to be able to come home and shut the door and kind of chill.”Mr. Whitlock decamped to a gloomy walk-up nearby. “It was so dark I sometimes had to go outside and take a walk to wake up,” he recalled. “I would say to myself, ‘I can’t do this anymore,’ and then I’d get a job and be gone for three months. And then I’d get another job and be gone again.” Finally — perhaps it was when intruders started stealing tenants’ mail and packages — he’d had enough.Last August, friends sublet him their one-bedroom apartment in a postwar Gramercy Park co-op, with a rooftop terrace and a coveted key to the park. “And if my friends are nice to me, they can come in with me,” Mr. Whitlock said. This is his first doorman building and his first elevator building.“I sort of had a long talk with myself and said, ‘You know, it’s time for you to grow up and stop living the way you’ve been living,’” he said. “When I was working so much and was barely home, it was sort of out of sight, out of mind. But with Covid, I really need to be in a place I enjoy.” He said he intends to buy an apartment when the sublet is up — in fact, was in talks to buy on the Upper East Side last spring, but the pandemic put everything on ice.“It’s beautiful,” Mr. Whitlock said of his poster of Bill Pickett, credited with being the first Black cowboy star. Credit…Katherine Marks for The New York TimesThe company he hired to pack and move his worldly goods did a poor job of it, Mr. Whitlock said, necessitating the replacement of several pieces of furniture. Fortunately, a number of treasures arrived intact, including a Robert Rauschenberg silk-screen on mirror-coated plexiglass, part of the “Star Quarters” series; the framed front page of the final edition of the Village Voice; a poster of Bill Pickett, known as the first African-American cowboy star (“It’s a beautiful poster, one of the best things I have in the house”); and a photo of a somewhat younger, somewhat trimmer Mr. Whitlock.“That’s my band. I used to be in a band,” he said, by way of explaining the picture. “And believe it or not, the guy in the white jumpsuit — that’s me. I didn’t play an instrument. I just sang and danced and drove the girls wild.”The movers were also mindful of the cuckoo clock Mr. Whitlock bought in Germany; the wood box containing the trinkets he collected during his two trips to Burning Man; and the framed, signed sheet music of a song composed by Arthur Miller for the 1997 Off Broadway production of Miller’s play “The American Clock.” (Mr. Whitlock was a member of the cast.)He ordered a tufted, L-shaped teal sectional online, but when it arrived the configuration was the reverse of what he’d expected. In time, he has come to view the purchase as a fortunate mistake. “This way, it really opens up the room,” said Mr. Whitlock, who lined the sofa with a row of pillows he bought in Vietnam and Thailand while shooting “Da 5 Bloods.” The television sits atop a new credenza made of honey-colored wood. His beloved shag rug pulls it all together.The work by Robert Rauschenberg hanging over the dining table “is like the center of the apartment,” he said.Credit…Katherine Marks for The New York TimesA serious cook, he hung a pot rack in the kitchen. But you’d be forgiven for thinking that Mr. Whitlock maybe cares a bit more about drink than food. He proudly showed off the half dozen hand-painted coffee cups and saucers he had specially made during a trip to Deruta, Italy.Even more proudly, he offered a tour of the 200-bottle, glass-fronted wine cooler. Harlan Estate, Chateau Montviel, Chateau Latour and Chateau d’Yquem are among the vineyards represented here, with Dom Pérignon at the ready for celebrating when the pandemic is finally over. There are also several bottles of vintage Whitlock, made by you-know-who at a fully equipped site in New Jersey, with grapes from Napa Valley.“You know, as a matter of fact, I think I’ll just take that out and have it tonight,” he said of a 2014 Cabernet Whitlock. “Trust me, I’ve got a lot of it.”For weekly email updates on residential real estate news, sign up here.

We’re all stuck at home at the moment, so here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.Dreams DeferredLate night celebrated Martin Luther King’s Birthday at the top of their shows by holding up the civil rights activist as an example of a great leader, as opposed to the departing president.“First of all, before anything else, Happy Martin Luther King Day, everybody, when we celebrate a great leader who led a march on Washington that didn’t end with me having to learn about someone named Q Shaman.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“If Dr. King were alive today, he would probably watch the news and go, ‘Let me be more specific about this dream I had.’” — JIMMY KIMMEL[embedded content]“You know, it’s days like today we should all be grateful that Trump can’t tweet.” — JIMMY FALLON“Today was Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and I’d like to think he’d have a good laugh if he knew the F.B.I. had to spend this federal holiday tracking down and arresting thousands of white supremacists. He did have a second dream, and that was it.” — SETH MEYERSMost of the rest of their monologues were focused on President Trump’s last few days in office.“Well guys, there’s only 36 hours left in Trump’s presidency. You think you’re excited? Every 10 minutes the White House staffer yells how much time is left like it’s ‘The Great British Bake Off.’” — JIMMY FALLON“Yep, just 36 hours left. You can tell time is running out because Trump is now signing pardons with both hands.” — JIMMY FALLON“With Trump, 36 hours still seems like a long time, right? It’s like if someone said, ‘You’re only going to be on fire for 36 more hours.’ That’s a long time. ‘You’re only going to be in this M.R.I. tube for another 36 hours. Try not to move.’” — JIMMY FALLON“Forty-eight hours from now Donald and Malaria, Melania — whoops — will be back home, asleep in separate bedrooms at Mar-a-Lago.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“President Trump is reportedly planning on leaving the White House on Wednesday morning for Florida.

Which, for someone who incited a violent insurrection to overthrow the government isn’t bad. I mean, honestly, what would he have to do to get below 20 percent — eat the Constitution?” — JIMMY KIMMEL“Trump has the lowest average approval rating of any president in the modern era. The only one to leave office with a lower rating than that was Kevin Spacey.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“Normally, after a president’s term, they show before and after photos to prove how much the job aged him.

Why so many? Well, there’s reportedly a lucrative market for pardons. Finally, POTUS is running a business that makes money.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“He’s calling it ‘The Olive Pardon.’ When you’re here, you’re a crime family.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“President Trump tomorrow is reportedly planning to issue at least 100 pardons and commutations. He said he wanted to give so many so that it would be even more hilarious when Giuliani doesn’t get one.” — SETH MEYERS“You can actually bet on who Trump will pardon, for real. And you know who the odds-on favorite is celebrity-wise? Lil Wayne, Trump’s buddy. They bonded over a mutual love of hip-hop and cough syrup.” — JIMMY KIMMEL“During his last hours in office, Trump is planning to issue pardons, but it’s reported it’s not going to be a pardon to himself or his family members. Trump is the only president in history who decides not to pardon himself and you immediately think, ‘What’s he up to?’” — JIMMY FALLON“I’m not surprised Trump didn’t pardon himself today because then he would be liable for whatever he does tomorrow.” — JIMMY FALLON“Yep, Trump won’t pardon his family either.

      Anna Paquin on 'True Blood' Remake: There's A Solid Chance I'd Say 'Yes'

      by

      HBO

      While claiming to be left in the dark about the show’s comeback, the actress famous as Sookie Stackhouse notes that ‘there’s an endless number of stories you can tell.’

      Jan 19, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Anna Paquin is intrigued by the possibility of reprising her “True Blood” role for the new reboot, even though she knew nothing about the revamp plans.
      The actress portrayed waitress Sookie Stackhouse opposite her now-husband Stephen Moyer as Bill Compton in the vampire drama, but when it was announced in December that a “True Blood” remake was in the works with creator and original showrunner Alan Ball, the stars were caught by surprise.
      “Not a single member of the (original) cast or crew knew anything about it. We literally all found out on Twitter,” Paquin told the New York Post.

      Despite being left in the dark about the show’s comeback, Paquin believes the new incarnation will be just as successful as their show, which ran for seven seasons until 2014.
      “I don’t know what the concept is, but it’s a rich world,” she mused. “The reason I feel like reboots and reimaginings do so well is that there’s an endless number of stories you can tell. We told seven years’ worth, but there’s no limit in genre stuff.”
      And Paquin would be open to returning to the vampire world, because she considers the “True Blood” gang her “family”, “It depends on in what regard,” she said of reprising her character Stackhouse. “I think Alan Ball is part of it and I owe him a lot of my career. So if he asked me, there’s a solid chance I’d say ‘yes’.”
      “But I had (sic) absolutely no idea what that would even look like or if they’d want us old folks. These were some of the best years of most of our lives for the cast and crew. That was our family.”

      'Bachelor' Recap: A Woman Leaves After Interrupting Matt James' Group Date

      by

      ABC

      The new outing of the ABC dating show picks up where things it leaves off in the last episode, in which Sarah fainted at the rose ceremony, much to everyone’s surprise.

      Jan 19, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “The Bachelor” returned with a new episode on Monday, January 18. The new outing of the ABC dating show picked up where things it left off in the last episode, in which Sarah fainted at the rose ceremony, much to everyone’s surprise.
      “She was exhausted… but I’m just glad I was able to steal a few moments away with her,” Matt James said in confessional. “Knowing she’s healthy is what’s most important.” Meanwhile, Victoria assumed that Sarah “fainted for attention.”
      As Sarah got better, Matt resumed the rose ceremony. Eventually, Matt gave the final rose to Victoria instead of Marylynn. “I’m floored. How can he give her a rose? She’s just, the worst!” Marylynn said, admitting that Victoria’s a “good actor.”
      It was time for a group date for Rachael, Bri, Lauren, Kit, Serena C., Victoria, Khaylah, Anna, Kaili and Katie. They then walked into a room to find Ashley Iaconetti reading an intimate passage from Chris Harrison’s “The Love Letter”, and the women were asked to write their own erotic love story with Matt. Katie’s and Victoria’s were so erotic that more bleeps were heard when they read their story.
      Meanwhile, Sarah opted out the date card reading as she was emotionally exhausted. She used to deal with faithfulness, commitment issues and jealousy, adding that she “felt dirty watching that.”
      Later, Matt and Rachael had a moment together. “I haven’t felt this way in a long time, but also it’s scary because I haven’t felt this way this quickly ever,” she told Matt before they kissed. Rachael was positive that Matt “potentially feels the exact same way that I’m feeling about him.”

      Meanwhile, Sarah was devastated. “It kills me to think he’s having these special moments with other women too,” she said. That prompted her to interrupt the group date which she wasn’t invited to and cut short Matt and Katie’s moment. Victoria encouraged Katie to get her time back and she did, leading to an argument between Sarah and Katie.
      Matt eventually walked Sarah out but then she went to visit the other women to apologize. However, they didn’t seem to accept her apology easily. Feeling targetted, Sarah was crying outside. Victoria approached her and tried to sound nice to her before Katie appeared.
      The next one-on-one date was between Matt and Serena P. But before their date, Matt noticed that Sarah wasn’t there with the other women, prompting him to go to her room. She told him that she had packed her bag, but Matt tried to convince her to stay. “That would be a tragedy!” Matt said. “You’re on my mind, and I haven’t forgotten about the time we spent together.”
      “I will continue to remind you how much I care about you,” he continued. “Obviously the girls aren’t going to be happy, but at the end of the day, it’s me and your connection… I will come here every day. I am dead serious.”
      During his date with Serena, the pair used the time to get to know each other and they also had a steamy makeout session in the hot tub. Meanwhile, the ladies at the house discussed how Sarah put distance from the others and MJ decided to confront her for it. Sarah told them that she was planning to leave because she felt overwhelmed by everything but Serena C thought that her move was “calculated, manipulated, toxic.” Sarah eventually left the next day.
      However, it turned out that she came to Matt’s room and told him how she felt “attacked” and that she wasn’t welcomed by the other women. “I went downstairs to like, apologize to the women for being in my room all day, and was like, completely attacked. Some of the women in there are just cruel and malicious, and it’s like, really hard for me,” she said. However, she didn’t change her mind and broke down in tears in the car as she left the show, saying that it was “the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

      'Queer Eye' Star Karamo Brown Added to 'Dear White People' Season 4

      by

      WENN

      The Netflix reality TV star joins the upcoming final season of the series, several months after recurring member Jeremy Tardy quit due to alleged pay disparity between black and white cast.

      Jan 19, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Queer Eye” star Karamo Brown has joined the cast of TV show “Dear White People” for the upcoming fourth season.
      The culture expert’s character in the programme – which follows several black college students at a predominantly white Ivy League institution – has yet to be revealed.
      But Karamo celebrated the news of his new gig in a post on Instagram, alongside which he wrote, “So excited to be part of the @dearwhitepeople cast for the upcoming season!”
      While Brown is most well known for being on “Queer Eye”, he is also a successful actor – having starred in TV shows such as “Steam Room Stories” and “Heads Will Roll”. He began his career back in 2004, when he made history by becoming the first openly gay black man cast on a reality show when he appeared on MTV’s “The Real World: Philadelphia”.

        See also…

      The comedy drama series based on an acclaimed indie movie of the same title is going to bid farewell with the upcoming season.
      “I’m so grateful my little indie-that-could has made it to four seasons at Netflix,” creator Justin Simien said in a statement. “This show, along with the many talented storytellers it has brought into my orbit, has changed my life and I can’t wait to create a celebratory final volume befitting such a transformative experience.”
      Karamo Brown’s casting came several months after Jeremy Tardy announced his departure from the show. He accused Lionsgate bosses of racial discrimination due to pay disparity between black and white cast members ahead of the final season.
      “After being offered to return for several episodes my team was notified that our counter offer would not be considered and that the initial offer was the ‘best and final,’ ” he revealed. “This news was disturbing because one of my white colleagues – being a true ally – revealed that they too had received the same initial offer and had successfully negotiated a counter offer.”
      Lionsgate, however, denied the allegations, “This was a purely financial negotiation regarding deal terms. Lionsgate is committed to equal treatment for all talent regardless of race, gender, age or sexual orientation.”

      However, he also revealed fans could look forward to more “Peaky Blinders” antics in the future, although he stopped short of offering up any further details.
      “Peaky is back and with a bang,” Knight shared in a statement. “After the enforced production delay due to the COVID pandemic, we find the family in extreme jeopardy and the stakes have never been higher.”

        See also…

      “We believe this will be the best series of all and are sure that our amazing fans will love it. While the TV series will be coming to an end, the story will continue in another form.”
      “Peaky Blinders” stars Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby, the head of the family, alongside Helen McCrory, Paul Anderson, Finn Cole, and Aidan Gillen. “The Irishman” ‘s Stephen Graham was also previously revealed to be joining the cast of season six.
      Earlier seasons of the BBC show, which airs on Netflix for U.S. audiences, have featured stars like Tom Hardy, Adrien Brody, Sam Neill, and Sam Claflin.
      A premiere date for the sixth and final run has yet to be set.
      Season five debuted in mid-2019.

      Dwayne Johnson Offers First-Look Teaser of NBC's Sitcom 'Young Rock'

      by

      NBC

      Posted on the ‘Fast and Furios’ actor’s Instagram account, the teaser offers a glimpse of the upcoming biographical series that chronicles three different stages of Dwayne’s life.

      Jan 18, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has debuted the first teaser of his upcoming biographical TV show “Young Rock” on his Instagram account. Posted on Saturday, January 16, the teaser offers a glimpse of the show that chronicles three different stages of Dwayne’s life.
      “Every hero has an origin story, but not a full mustache at age 15,” someone narrates in voiceover. Later, teenage Dwayne, played by Bradley Constant, is seen dramatically walking down the hallway while rocking a green bomber jacket. He then introduces himself to a girl as Thomas because he thinks it sounds cooler than Dwayne.
      The teaser also sees a pre-teen Johnson (Adrian Groulx) flexing his muscles in the gym alongside his late wrestler father Rocky Johnson (Joseph Lee Anderson). Elsewhere in the teaser, an adult Johnson (Uli Latukefu) is seen walking through a hallway.
      “Ladies and gents, here’s your first look at @nbcyoungrock,” The Rock announced to his 212 million Instagram followers. “I really wish my dad was around to see this one. Maaaaan he would’ve been proud.”

      “And yes, I was clearly kicking puberty’s a** at 15yrs old and becoming a tequila tycoon by the time I was 10,” he added in the caption. “I can’t wait to make you and your families laugh a little and share some life lessons I’ve learned along the way.”

      In a separate post, the Luke Hobbs of “Fast & Furious” shared, “Appreciate all your early buzz for our NBC comedy @nbcyoungrock about all the crazy shit that’s been my life throughout the years.” He went on saying, “From growing up in the wild (and cutthroat ) world of pro wrestling in the early 80s to being accused of being a high school undercover cop at 15yrs old because I was already 6’4 220lbs with a FULL Magnum PI mustache and driving my own car.”

      “Young Rock” is set to premiere on NBC on February 16. The show will also air on NBC’s streaming service Peacock.
